8 weeks

Well 8 weeks have come and gone since the baby got here. I'd love to tell you that they have been eventful and I've gotten all sorts of things done, but thats hardly the case. I got a few drawers on my pantry cleaned out today(Still working on getting organized) One step at a time.. I'd still love to try and make it to the craft fair tomorrow but i'm not sure that will happen. Mark and Alec both have a cold right now. Alec is on the down hill slide of his and Mark's is still going pretty full blown. I have that annoying tickle in my throat that I've been trying to fight off, but I don't think I will be able too. I can feel it in my chest. Today I've been trying to drink hot tea, and try to combat it as much as I can.
I've been walking alot trying to get into shape. I know what I want but when it comes down to it, I really lack the motivation. I think about it every day and know what I need to do..but I still end up stopping at starbucks which is my vice. Yes, I am going to try a Iced coffee with 3 pumps of mocha..just haven't yet:)
So I try to excercise and know that its going to be a cold winter because I refuse to buy new pants when I have a closet full of size 5's...Guess I can't be to hard on my self...its only been two months. But the scale hasn't budged much. I still have 13lbs to shed. I love food, and I love to snack to its VERY hard.

Blake is doing awesome! He is such a good baby and getting so big. We go for his 2 month check up on the 24th. I can not even begin to tell you the love I have for him and all my kids. I know all of my mom friends know what I mean. My heart just aches with love. They are amazing kids, and I have been truely blessed with such a wonderful family. Its hard to believe that at one point I didn't even think I wanted kids. One blessing happens and its the best thing we ever did. I don't even remember my life before kids. I thought I'd miss it but I don't. Everything is so much more meaningful and I look forward to things again that I did when I was a kid. Taking trips, holidays, birthdays..Brings out the kid in me all over again.
I really can not believe that it has been 8 weeks since the baby came.
It goes by way to quick and while my hubby is sold on not having anymore a part of my heart aches at the thought. Guess, I should count my blessings. Ive got 3 I never imagined having!! :)

I know what you mean about little things being so special when you have kids...even jumping into a freshly raked pile of leaves is a special moment to a mom! :)
